Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Understanding the Hormonal Puzzle

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women of reproductive age — and one of the leading causes of infertility in India. At Sparsh IVF, we specialize in diagnosing and managing PCOS with precision and care, helping women overcome its effects and conceive successfully, whether naturally or through assisted reproductive technology.

PCOS doesn’t just affect your menstrual cycle. It can impact ovulation, hormone balance, metabolism, and long-term reproductive health. But with timely intervention and personalized treatment, the outcomes can be life-changing.

What Is PCOS?

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a complex hormonal disorder where the ovaries produce excess androgens (male hormones), disrupting the normal development and release of eggs (ovulation). It often leads to:

  • Irregular or absent periods
  • Anovulation (no egg release)
  • Cysts on the ovaries (not dangerous, but a diagnostic marker)
  • Insulin resistance and weight gain
  • Acne, excess facial hair, and scalp hair thinning
  • Difficulty in conceiving

At Sparsh IVF, we view PCOS not as a fertility end-point, but as a condition that can be managed with expertise, lifestyle adjustments, and modern reproductive solutions.

How PCOS Affects Fertility

The most direct impact of PCOS on fertility is irregular ovulation or complete lack of ovulation. Without ovulation, there is no egg to fertilize — which makes conception difficult. Even when ovulation occurs, hormonal imbalances may prevent the uterine lining from developing adequately for implantation.

In addition, insulin resistance — a common feature of PCOS — can affect egg quality and overall reproductive hormone function.

However, PCOS does not mean infertility is permanent. With proper diagnosis and the right fertility strategy, most women with PCOS can successfully become pregnant.

Common Signs You May Have PCOS

  • Periods that are irregular, infrequent, or absent
  • Difficulty tracking ovulation or confirming it naturally
  • Excessive acne or oily skin
  • Hair growth on the chin, chest, or abdomen (hirsutism)
  • Difficulty losing weight or sudden weight gain
  • Mood swings or fatigue
  • History of miscarriage or failed cycles
  • Family history of PCOS or diabetes

If you’re experiencing two or more of these symptoms, we recommend a complete PCOS infertility evaluation at Sparsh IVF.

How Is PCOS Diagnosed?

Our fertility experts use a combination of clinical evaluation, blood tests, and ultrasound imaging:

  • Menstrual history & symptom review
  • Hormonal profile: FSH, LH, AMH, TSH, Prolactin, Testosterone, Insulin
  • Transvaginal ultrasound: To assess ovarian size and follicle count
  • BMI and metabolic screening: Including glucose and lipid profile

There is no single test for PCOS. Diagnosis is based on Rotterdam criteria, which require at least two of the following:

  • Irregular or absent ovulation
  • Excess androgens (clinically or via bloodwork)
  • Polycystic-appearing ovaries on ultrasound

Treatment of PCOS-Related Infertility

At Sparsh IVF, we don’t just treat the condition — we treat the individual. Our PCOS treatment plans are tailored to your symptoms, goals, and lifestyle:

  • Nutritional counselling and diet planning
  • Weight reduction (even 5–10% can restore ovulation)
  • Stress management techniques
  • Use of medications like Letrozole or Clomiphene
  • Regular ultrasound monitoring for follicular development
  • Timed intercourse or IUI (as needed)
  • If first-line treatments fail, we offer IUI or IVF with controlled ovarian stimulation
  • IVF protocols are customized to reduce the risk of OHSS (Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome)
  • For resistant cases, Laparoscopic ovarian drilling may be considered
  • Endocrinology consult for metabolic control
  • Insulin sensitizers (e.g., Metformin) where applicable
